For the day
Jan 21st, 2009 by champagnewednesday
What if the mightiest word is love, love beyond marital, filial,
national. Love that casts a widening pool of light. Love with no
need to preempt grievance.
In today’s sharp sparkle, this winter air, anything can be made,
any sentence begun.
On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp — praise song for walking
forward in that light.
- from ‘Praise Song for the Day’ by Elizabeth Alexander

My friend’s cousin took this picture the other day but I don’t know his name. It’s the background on my computer. Just stunning. Elizabeth Alexander’s words are also stunning.
